[maildropl] maildrop authdaemon: s_connect() failed

[m***@xlist.pw]

Hi,

I am using maildrop since years as MDA to deliver mail from postfix.
Recently I decided to use it in a getmail environment to do mail filtering
of mail that is retrieved from a provider via getmail. On my first attempts
maildrop exited with the error "ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such
file or directory" because the courier-authdaemon package was not install.
After installation it worked smoothly.

I am wondering why maildrop did not complain before when it was started from
postfix as MDA about missing authdaemon.

Thanks & regards,

mls

maildrop requires authdaemon only when the -d option gets used.
